He retired from INCO in May, 1999 and moved to Stonewall in July, 2000 where he built his retirement home. Les loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest. He brought humour to others that surrounded him, particularly his family. He always had a great joke to share. Les loved the outdoors and spent a lot of his time fishing at Paint Lake and hunting with his brother. He also enjoyed completing home renovations, building things, fixing anything and everything, and attempting any new challenge in general. He was always willing to help others and would have given you the shirt off his back. He was so proud of his family and their accomplishments. He was deeply loved by his family and all that knew him. He will be forever loved and dearly missed by his family and friends. He will always be in our thoughts and our hearts.
